The link to this video was sent to me this morning by Child Care Information Exchange. This video is so amazingly creative and so RIGHT ON, I just had to share it with you here.

Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert, gave a speech called ”Changing Education Paradigms”, where he talks about the general state of education in our world today, and also an interesting take on ADHD. He then took an excerpt of the speech and had it visually connected in the most brilliant and fun-to-watch way.

Please take 8 minutes and check it out:

When I was in the 2nd grade I was diagnosed with ADHD, forever changing my life, and this presentation by Ken Robinson is a breath of fresh air. If you know anyone who has children with ADHD, please pass this along.

Why our Parents Love ACA:

Click Here to Read what some of our parents have to say about ACA.
“(What I like best about child care experience at A Child’s Academy) Celebrating holidays such as Easter day, President Day, St Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas day, etc gives children an opportunity to understand its spirituality and history. In addition, by embracing holidays regardless different religion and countries, children can understand world without prejudice. Vicky really enjoys painting/coloring with her classmates. It has great benefit because she can imagine everything through this time. In addition, she develops artistic potential by sharing ideas with friends. Coloring makes my daughter creative. I would like to say that A child’s academy pursues holistic education. The curriculum focuses on not only academic development but also artistic thinking, feelings, and creativity as well. My daughter can read, count, and write. Also, she learns how to share with friends and team up with them. The teachers do not teach directly, but rather the school environment encourages students. This is great benefit for my daughter to go to the school. I would like to tell new parents about school meal that the A child’s academy provides. Most parents might be concerned about nutrition for their child. The A child’s academy meal plan is well designed for children. A variety of food is provided every week based on recommended nutrition. I am sure that the new parents would be satisfied with this.”
